taking NCLEX PN 2017. i need help & motivation

[diane2017]

Hi everyone,

Just like other people here, i need BIG HELP on study tips or study guide on how you passed the NCLEX and great motivations.

I felt like my world ended when i first failed my NCLEX PN back in june of 2011 after graduation. after that, i may have tried taking the test after 2 years but couldn't really focus due to work and failed it again. Ive done a review center but tbh i didn't give my 100% best since I'm lack of motivation already thinking maybe nursing isn't for me.

This new year 2017, i want to try it again and this time I'm doing it for my future. I just re applied to the board.

I feel lost on where or how to start studying again. any study tips or recommendations? what book or question banks to get? how many questions should i do per day? what topic to focus on?

Thank you in advance.

So, I took the NCLEX on yesterday 2/11/2017. I have to admit I felt like a total failure when my test stopped after I answered question 85. I was ready to jump out of my skin when my computer screen turned blue. I thought the computer had literally crashed. I didn't feel like I knew anything. I had tons of SATA and priority questions and one calculation problem. I left the testing center went to my car called my mother and cried like a baby. I'm not gonna lie I was scared as $#!+ to try the PVT. Well, after drowning my sorrows with a jumbo Margarita, I did the PVT at 10pm. I got the "good pop-up". Still not convinced so I tried again this morning and got the "Good pop-up" again!!! Hopefully I will be able to view my quick results tomorrow and confirm that this "trick" actually works. PRAYING HARD!!!!!! I'm getting too old for this stress, LOL!!!
